Prayer

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Luke 11:9-13 (NIV)

These words by Jesus speak to the very essence of why we have a prayer team at City Life! There is so much that people miss simply because they fail to ask. Much of what flows into the life of the devoted follower of Christ certainly comes from the favor of God, a perfect Heavenly Father lavishing blessing on the lives of His children, but there is much more that awaits our prayer.

Your need will be directed to someone working with our prayer team. They will in turn exercise discernment in determining the appropriateness of forwarding your request to the entire prayer list or to a select few. Once forwarded, there will be many in our church family who will begin to call upon the Lord in faith to move on your behalf, for His perfect will to be done, always with an Ephesians 3:20 mindset: “Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think–according to the power that works in you…” (Ephesians 3:20, HCSB)
